TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for urinary frequency or urinary incontinence, and to a morphinan derivative having a nitrogen-containing hetrocyclic group or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Recently, with coming of an aging society, the number of patients suffering from urinary frequency or urinary incontinence is increasing year by year. At present, as therapeutic drugs for urinary frequency or urinary incontinence, anticholinergic drugs such as propiverine hydrochloride, oxybutynin hydrochloride and flavoxate hydrochloride are used. However, it has been reported that these existing drugs have side effects, that is, dry mouth, gastrointestinal system symptoms such as constipation, cardiovascular symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, urinary retention and residual urine. In addition, it is concerned that by administering the existing drugs having anticholinergic activities for the therapy of urinary frequency or urinary incontinence accompanied by cerebrovascular dysfunction or dementia, cholinergic system activity in the brain is inhibited, so that the cerebrovascular dysfunction or dementia per se progress. On the other hand, from the view point of improving quality of life (QOL) of patients, which is recently regarded as important, urinary frequency and urinary incontinence are attracting attention as symptoms which should be positively cured. Thus, development of a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for urinary frequency or urinary incontinence without side effects is strongly demanded.

Morphinan derivatives having a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group are described in Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 41-18824 and 41-18826 together with their uses as analgesics and antitussives, and in Tetrahedron. 50, 9757 (1994), Synth. Commun. 22, 913 (1992), J. Med. Chem. 27, 1325 (1984) which is silent about their uses. These patents and reference are silent about the use as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for urinary frequency or urinary incontinence. Although it is known that morphine which is similar to the compounds of the present invention in the respect that it has morphinan structure although it does not contain a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group has an activity to inhibit micturition reflex (J. Pharm. Exp. Ther. 254(1984) etc.), it has strong side effects such as drug dependence, constipation and so on, so that it is not used as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for urinary frequency or urinary incontinence.

The morphinan derivatives represented by the above-described Formula (I), having a nitrogen-containing hetrocyclic group used as the effective ingredient of the therapeutic or prophylactic agent for urinary frequency or urinary incontinence according to the present invention may be produced by the methods hereinbelow described.

Among the compounds represented by Formula (I) (wherein R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, X, Y, Z and k represent the same meanings as described above), the cyclic aminocompounds (Ia) wherein both Y and Z are valence bonds may be synthesized by the reductive amination reaction from the 6-oxo compound represented by Formula (IV) (wherein R¹, R², R³, R⁹, R¹¹ and R¹¹ represent the same meanings as described above) through iminium salt (Va) (wherein R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, X and k represent the same meanings as described above) or enamine (Vb) (wherein R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, X, Y, Z and k represent the same meanings as described above), as shown by Scheme 1 below.

This reaction comprises two steps, that is, (1) conversion reaction to the iminium salt or enamine using an acid catalyst, and (2) reduction by a metal hydride reducing agent or hydrogenation reaction in the presence of acid and metal catalysts. The 6-oxo compound represented by Formula (IV) used as a starting material of this reaction is described in, for example, J. Org. Chem. 4, 220 (1939), J. Org. Chem. 15, 1103 (1950) and so on, and may be produced by the method described in this reference.

The step (1), that is, the conversion reaction to the iminium salt or enamine is the reaction to obtain an iminium salt (Va) or an enamine (Vb) from the oxo compound (IV) and an amine (VI) (wherein R⁴, X and k represent the same meanings as described above). This reaction may be carried out by the method described in, for example, J. Org. Chem. 45, 3366 (1980), WO93/15081 and the like, that is, by the method in which the oxo compound (IV) and the amine (VI) are heated to reflux in an appropriate reaction solvent and the generated water is removed by azeotropic distillation together with the reaction solvent or by using a Dean-Stark water trap so as to proceed the reaction. Adding an appropriate dehydrating agent to the reaction system is also a preferred method for generating the iminium salt (Va) or the enamine (Vb). The dehydrating agent used here is not restricted, and inorganic dehydrating agents such as molecular sieve, anhydrous calcium sulfate, anhydrous copper sulfate, anhydrous sodium sulfate, anhydrous magnesium sulfate and anhydrous calcium chloride; and organic dehydrating agents such as ortho esters, acid anhydrides, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex, phosphorus oxychloride and thionyl chloride may be used. Among these, organic dehydrating agents such as ortho esters, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex are preferred, and ortho esters are especially preferred.

The amount of the amine (VI) used in this step is not restricted, and is usually 0.5 to 50 equivalents, preferably 1 to 30 equivalents, more preferably 1 to 10 equivalents.

As the acid to be made to coexist, any acid which usually forms a salt with amines may be used. Examples of the acid include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid; sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid; and carboxylic acids such as benzoic acid, acetic acid and oxalic acid. Among these, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and benzoic acid are preferred, and p-toluenesulfonic acid and benzoic acid are especially preferred. The amount of the acid to be made to coexist is not restricted, and the reaction may be carried out in an amount of 0.5 to 50 equivalents. Satisfactory results are usually obtained by using 1 to 30 equivalents, preferably 1 to 10 equivalents of the acid.

In case of using an ortho ester as the dehydrating agent, examples of the ortho ester with which the reaction may be carried out include ortho formic acid esters such as trimethyl ortho formate, triethyl ortho formate, tri-n-propyl ortho formate, triisopropyl ortho formate, diethylphenyl ortho formate and tri-n-butyl ortho formate; ortho acetic acid esters such as trimethyl ortho acetate, triethyl ortho acetate, tri-n-propyl ortho acetate and triisopropyl ortho acetate; ortho propionic acid esters such as trimethyl ortho propionate, triethyl ortho propionate, tri-n-propyl ortho propionate and triisopropyl ortho propionate; ortho butyric acid esters such as trimethyl ortho butyrate, triethyl ortho butyrate, tri-n-propyl ortho butyrate and triisopropyl ortho butyrate; and ortho benzoic acid esters such as trimethyl ortho benzoate, triethyl ortho benzoate, tri-n-propyl ortho benzoate and triisopropyl ortho benzoate. Usually, ortho formic acid esters such as trimethyl ortho formate, triethyl ortho formate, tri-n-propyl ortho formate and triisopropyl ortho formate; and ortho acetic acid esters such as trimethyl ortho acetate, triethyl ortho acetate, tri-n-propyl ortho acetate and triisopropyl ortho acetate are used, and among these, trimethyl ortho formate, triethyl ortho formate, trimethyl ortho acetate, triethyl ortho acetate are preferred. Although the ortho ester may be used as the reaction solvent, usually 0.5 to 10 equivalents, preferably 1 to 5 equivalents of the ortho ester is used. The ortho ester may be made to coexist at the beginning of the reaction, or may be added sequentially and dividedly with the progress of the reaction.

As the reaction solvent, although not restricted, ether solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), ether, dimethoxyethane (DME) and dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and mesitylene; and polar solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylsufoxide (DMSO) may be used.

The reaction time is appropriately selected depending on the conditions such as reaction temperature, satisfactory results are usually obtained when the reaction time is 3 to 100 hours.

In the reduction reaction in step (2), although, usually, the iminium salt (Va) or the enamine (Vb) is reduced by a metal hydride reducing agent or hydrogenation is carried out in the presence of an acid and metal catalysts without isolating the iminium salt (Va) or enamine (Vb), the desired cyclic amine compound (Ia) may be obtained even when the iminium salt (Va) or enamine (Vb) is isolated.

As the reaction solvent, although the solvent used for the conversion to the iminium salt or the enamine may be used as it is, preferred results are obtained by using an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol, especially by adding methanol. Alternatively, the reaction solvent used for the conversion to the iminium salt or the enamine may be evaporated under reduced pressure, and the reaction may be carried out using the alcoholic solvent alone such as methanol or ethanol.

In case of conducting hydrogenation in the presence the acid and metal catalysts, as the reaction solvent, although the solvent used for the conversion to the iminium salt or the enamine may be used as it is, preferred results are also obtained when an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol, or an ether solvent such as THF or ether is added. Alternatively, the reaction solvent used for the conversion to the iminium salt or the enamine may be evaporated under reduced pressure, and the reaction may be carried out using the alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol or the ether solvent such as THF or ether alone. As the acid to be made to coexist, any acid which forms a salt with an amine may usually be used. Examples of such an acid include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid; sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid; and carboxylic acids such as benzoic acid, acetic acid and oxalic acid. Among these, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and benzoic acid are preferred, and p-toluenesulfonic acid and benzoic acid are especially preferred. The amount of the acid to be made to coexist is not restricted, and the reaction can be carried out at an amount of 0.5 to 50 equivalents.

Reference Example 1-1 Synthesis of 6β-dibenzylamino-17-cyclopropylmethyl-4,5α-epoxy-morphinan-3,14-diol

In a mixed solvent of 1700 mL of THF and 1700 mL of toluene, 249.8 g (0.731 mol) of naltrexone was dissolved, and 432.7 g (2.193 mol, 3.0 equivalents) of dibenzylamine was added. While stirring the mixture, the pressure in the reaction vessel was reduced and the atmosphere was replaced with argon. Then 357.7 g (2.929 mol, 4.0 equivalents) of benzoic acid was weighed in a beaker, and was slowly added to the solution to precipitate white solids. Using an oil bath, the reaction apparatus was started to be warmed, and the precipitated crystals were dissolved to form a solution with the elevation of inner temperature. Reflux started at an inner temperature of 81.5° C., which was regarded as the start of the reaction. The reaction was carried out at an inner temperature of 81.5° C. to 87.4° C. Thirty minutes after starting the reaction, 53.9 g (0.363 mol, 0.50 equivalents) of triethyl orthoformate was added, and at 2 hours and 30 minutes and at 4 hours and 30 minutes after the start, triethyl orthoformate was added in amounts of 54.0 g (0.364 mol, 0.50 equivalents) and 54.1 g (0.365 mol, 0.50 equivalents), respectively. Six hours and 30 minutes after the start of the reaction, the oil bath was removed from the reaction apparatus, thereby terminating the reaction for conversion to iminium.

During cooling the reaction vessel in ice bath, in which the reaction for conversion to iminium was carried out, 54.0 g (0.859 mol, 1.17 equivalents) of sodium cyanoborohydride was weighed in a separate 1 L three-necked flask, and 532.3 g of methanol was added to dissolve it. The thus prepared solution was dropped on the reaction solution of the conversion reaction to iminium for 10 minutes at an inner temperature of 2.5 to 10° C. Thirty minutes after completion of the dropping, the reaction was terminated and the mixture was subjected to post treatment.

In a 5 L Erlenmeyer flask, 446.0 g (3.22 mol) of potassium carbonate and 3399.6 g of distilled water were weighed to prepare an aqueous potassium carbonate solution. This solution was dropped on the reaction mixture for 12 minutes at an inner temperature of 5.0 to 18.0° C. After completion of the dropping, the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes to dissolve the gels and the reaction solution became clear. The reaction solution was then transferred to a 10 L separating bath. To the reaction solution, 599.8 g of THF and 615.5 g of ethyl acetate were added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. After stopping the stirring, the mixture was left to stand for 20 minutes to attain separation into layers, and 5175.5 g of the extraction aqueous layer was removed. To the organic layer in the separating bath, 1026.3 g of distilled water was added and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes, followed by leaving the mixture to stand overnight. On the next day, the mixture was separated into layers, and the 1280.5 g of aqueous layer after washing with distilled water was removed, thereby obtaining 4186.2 g of organic layer after washing with distilled water. Thereafter, the organic layer was concentrated to obtain 2263.6 g of a concentration residue. To this residue, 1340.1 g of ethyl acetate was added to replace the solvent with ethyl acetate, and azeotropic distillation with water was carried out. Thereafter, the above-described operations were repeated 5 times, to obtain 2189.7 g of the final concentration residue. Then 1221.7 g of methanol was added and the mixture was concentrated, thereby replacing the solvent with methanol. Thereafter, these operations were repeated twice to obtain 2103.9 g of the final concentration residue. To this residue, 528.3 g of methanol was added, and the mixture was stirred while placing the vessel in an ice bath, thereby washing the slurry. The inner temperature at the beginning of the stirring was 22.0° C., and the washing with stirring was carried out for 30 minutes. At the termination of the washing, the inner temperature was 8° C. The slurry after washing with stirring was filtered through Millipore filter in an 1 L funnel. Inside the flask and the crystals were washed with 402.6 g of methanol. The crystals were transferred to a separable flask and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 329.2 g (yield: 86%) of the captioned compound as white crystals.

Reference Example 1-2 Synthesis of 6β-naltrexamine

In a 5 L reaction vessel, 325.0 g (0.622 mol) of 6β-dibenzylamino-17-cyclopropylmethyl-4,5α-epoxy-morphinan-3,14-diol obtained in Reference Example 1-1 and 65.0 g (20 wt %) of 10% Pd/C (50% wet) were weighed, and a reaction apparatus was assembled. Then 2561.3 g (3.25 L, 10 mL/g-substrate) was added and the stirring was started, followed by replacing the atmosphere with argon three times. In a beaker, 91.0 g (1.740 mol, 2.8 equivalents) of formic acid (88% sol.) was weighed, and dropped for 5 minutes at an inner temperature of 22.1 to 25.8° C. using a dropping funnel. At this time, elevation of the inner temperature and generation of gas were observed, After completion of the dropping, heating was started, and the time at which the inner temperature reached 51.1° C. was regarded as the start of the reaction. Two hours after the start of the reaction, analysis by HPLC was performed. Although the reaction had been completed at two hours after the start, in order to continue the reaction until the amount of the remaining formic acid reached not more than 0.03 equivalents, stirring and heating were carried out at 51.1 to 61.0° C. Twenty two hours after the start of the reaction, the reaction mixture was sampled and analyzed by HPLC and ¹H-NMR. By HPLC, impurities and decomposition products which prominently increased were not observed. It was confirmed that the amount of the formic acid contained in the reaction mixture was 0.090 equivalents. Since termination of the decomposition step of formic acid was defined such that the amount of the remaining formic acid was not more than 0.03 equivalents, the reaction was continued at the same reaction temperature and the stirring rate. Twenty eight hours after the start of the reaction, the amount of the remaining formic acid was measured by ¹H-NMR, which was 0.094 equivalents. Since this amount was about the same as that measured at 22 hours, the reaction was continued after raising the inner temperature to 60.9 to 61.4° C. Twelve hours after raising the reaction temperature (40 hours after the start of the reaction), the amount of the remaining formic acid was measured by ¹H-NMR, which was 0.037 equivalents. Although the criterion of judgment of termination of the reaction was not more than 0.03 equivalents, the reaction was terminated, and the mixture was subjected to work up process.

After cooling the reaction mixture to an inner temperature of 20.7° C. by placing the vessel in an ice bath, Pd/C was removed by filtration through Millipore filter in a 1 L funnel. As the filter, 0.5 μm PTFE membrane filter was used. By washing the Pd/C obtained by the filtration with 227.5 g of methanol, 3035.8 g of filtrate was obtained. The obtained filtrate was transferred to a 10 L flask for evaporator, the vessel was washed with 61.1 g of methanol. After the transfer, the mixture was concentrated, and the concentration was once stopped when 1624.9 g of concentration residue was obtained. Then 1408.1 g of ethyl acetate was added thereto, and concentration was further carried out, thereby replacing the solvent with ethyl acetate from methanol. During the concentration, white powder precipitated, and the solution changed into a slurry. The concentration was stopped when 1455.4 g of residue in replacing solvent was obtained, and the replacement of solvent was carried out additionally twice in the same way. After the replacement of the solvent, the powder was collected by filtration and the obtained white powder was washed with 178.6 g of ethyl acetate. The powder was transferred to a 1 L separable flask, and the flask was immersed in a water bath at 50° C., followed by drying the powder for 3 hours under reduced pressure to obtain 185.5 g (yield: 87.2%) of the captioned compound.

The mixture was heated to reflux for 12 hours while azeotropically removing water in an oil bath at 175° C. After allowing the reaction solution to cool to room temperature, 50 ml of aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate and 3 ml of aqueous ammonia were added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting mixture was extracted with chloroform (50 ml×3 times).

Inhibitory Effect Against Rhythmic Bladder Contractions in Rats

Female SD rats were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal administration of urethane (1.0 g/kg). A polyethylene tube was inserted from the urethra to the bladder and the tube was fixed by ligation. Then physiological saline was appropriately infused (infusion rate: about 0.2 ml/min., maximum: about 1.5 ml/animal) through the tube to cause rhythmic bladder contractions. The rhythmic bladder contractions were monitored by measuring the intravesical pressure through a polyethylene tube inserted into the bladder. After confirming that stable rhythmic bladder contractions occurred at least 10 times, a vehicle containing a prescribed dose of a test compound was intravenously administration at a dose of 1 ml/kg. In cases where the intravesical pressure, within 10 minutes after the administration of the test compound, decreased to 50% or less of the intravesical pressure immediately after the administration, the test compound was judged as having inhibitory effect against urinary bladder contractions, and the time period until the intravesical pressure returned to more than 50% was defined as inhibitory time of rhythmic bladder contractions. As the vehicle for administration, physiological saline was used for test compounds 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 75, 76, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 89, 90, 91, 93, 94, 95, 110 and 111, aqueous 10% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution was used for test compounds 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 28, 46, 47, 50, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 77, 78, 83, 85, 86, 87, 88, 92, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108 and 102, aqueous 20% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution was used for test compounds 1, 2, 67 and 101, and aqueous 5% xylitol solution was used for test compounds 5 and 35. The aqueous 10% DMSO solution, aqueous 20% DMSO solution and the aqueous 5% xylitol solution per se, which may influence on the inhibitory time of rhythmic bladder contractions, were also tested at a dose of 1 ml/kg. The results are shown in Table 6. With any of the compounds, prolongation of the inhibitory time of rhythmic bladder contractions was observed when compared with that obtained in the group to which the vehicle alone was administered.
